Dean;

I agree.  Ebay is becoming an important source (and for some the only 
source) for Deere parts.   The system is clearly weighted against the buyer. 
Of course it is the buyer who pays the freight so to speak to Ebay so this 
is only natural.   I don't like the effect institutions like ebay have on 
peoples' character, though.
